There is a new package called xscreensaver-extras-gss which is in 
testing right now. I just installed it and will look around at it. This 
should allow better selection for screensavers. The package is in 
testing right now.
Hopefully those packages will enhance gnome-screensaver which is the 
default application with FC5.

What the update message states:
In this update, gnome-screensaver compatibility for
xcreensaver-extras and xscreensaver-gl-extras was
implemented in the new xscreensaver-extras-gss and
xscreensaver-gl-extras-gss subpackages. You need to install
these additional packages if you want to use the
xscreensaver hacks in gnome-screensaver.
